The Chevy Trailblazer and the Mazda CX-30 are two small SUVs that prioritize excitement and safety. They both offer tons of fun for your rides around Manhattan, Junction City, or Wamego, KS, but only one has the adventurous spirit to match your lifestyle.
At Murdock Manhattan Chevrolet, we’re primed for this showdown between the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer vs. the 2023 Mazda CX-30. Let’s see which one comes out on top!
PASSENGER VOLUME
FRONT HEADROOM
TRUNK CAPACITY
Although they’re considered small crossover SUVs, both the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer and the 2023 Mazda CX-30 provide plenty of space for you and your crew. And since with people comes stuff, you’ll be able to accommodate everyone’s gear too.
Step inside either SUV, and you’ll have lots of space for storage and your fellow explorers. The next time you book your favorite campsite, your friends will be grateful for the extra wiggle room in the Trailblazer. It boasts 98.2 cubic feet of passenger volume, compared to just 94.1 cubic feet in the CX-30.
When it’s time to load up the tent and your favorite hammock, kick your foot under the rear bumper of the Trailblazer. The available hands-free power liftgate will make packing up the 25.3-cubic-foot trunk a breeze. The Mazda CX-30 doesn’t offer a similar hands-free power liftgate, and its trunk tops out at just 20.2 cubic feet.
There’s seating for five in both the 2023 Trailblazer and the CX-30, so go ahead—invite your friends. Everyone will have more room to stretch out in the Trailblazer, though. It offers 40 inches of front headroom and 38.4 inches of rear headroom. Compare that to the CX-30: It only has 38.1 inches up front and 38.3 inches in the back.
Both models come with plenty of comfort-oriented amenities to kick your ride up a notch. You can sit back and relax in available premium leatherette while enjoying the power-adjustable driver’s seat that will help you find the ideal level of support.
Today’s drivers not only prefer in-vehicle technology, they demand it. Whether you’re heading across town on a quick jaunt or going off the grid for a while, you’ll want to be able to remain informed, connected, and entertained. Fortunately, the Trailblazer and the CX-30 are well-equipped to help you do just that.
When your adventures take you way off the map, connectivity is key. That’s why both models come with an advanced infotainment system to help you stay in touch with the people, music, and apps you love most. They’re anchored by a responsive touchscreen and feature many similar technologies, such as:
- Bluetooth®
- Apple CarPlay™
- Android Auto™
- Voice recognition
- SiriusXM®
Ready for a good old-fashioned sing-along or your own version of car karaoke? Hear that? It’s that new track everyone’s been talking about. In either the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer or the 2023 Mazda CX-30, you’ll get the concert-like sound quality of an available Bose® sound system. Listen to that guitar solo!
Of course, no features are more important than those that help protect you and everyone on board. Both Chevy and Mazda take your safety as seriously as you do, so the Trailblazer and the CX-30 are designed to add an extra layer of protection.
The Chevy Trailblazer and the Mazda CX-30 are designed to inspire confidence. Therefore, they both come with a bevy of smart safety features. If you choose the 2023 Trailblazer, you’ll get Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of driver-assistance systems. It includes:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Forward Collision Alert
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Following Distance Indicator
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- IntelliBeam auto high beams
The i-Activsense® suite of the Mazda CX-30 comes with many similar safety systems. It doesn’t, however, include Teen Driver, a safety system you’ll only get with the Trailblazer.
It makes this SUV perfect for families with up-and-coming drivers. When your teen’s key fob is in use, it automatically activates equipped safety features and applies limits that encourage better driving habits. It even provides an in-car report card to make coaching your novice driver easier.
This showdown came down to advanced safety features and interior space. The 2023 Chevy Trailblazer has the advantage on both fronts, pushing it ahead of the competition. If you’re ready to experience this compact SUV firsthand, schedule a test drive at Murdock Manhattan Chevrolet.
